After 13 years, Alan Wake's creator finally gets to release the sequel many thought wouldn't happen.

But what if you're a game maker about to release your most personal, ambitious project yet into the world?

He's keen to stress that, like all games, Alan Wake 2 has been a "team effort" but Sam, who also plays a character in the game, is the public face of the project. But word-of-mouth built up and it eventually registered healthy sales. In the meantime, Remedy published other games including its 2019 hit Control.

In a crowded field, Sam admits Alan Wake 2's original release date was pushed back 10 days to "get out from under Spider-Man 2", which came out earlier this month. Unique experiences are something Remedy's become known for since it was founded 28 years ago as a much smaller operation. FBI profiler Saga has a "Mind Place" - an investigation room with a case board like the ones seen in many thriller movies.
